world Women High Jump History

Venue: Olympiastadion, Charlottenburg, Berlin. Capp.: 100,000.
17 competitors from 12 nations.
Odam (1.65), Csák (1.61), Carter (1.609) and Koen (1.605) were the leading jumpers prior to the Games, but neither Koen nor Carter could clear 1.58, leaving the favourites plus two Germans to fight out for the medals. Ratjen, who was later found to be a man, failed at 1.60. At that height Odam cleared first time, while Csák cleared on her second jump and Kaun on her final attempt. Under rules in force from 1948 onwards Odam would have won, but under the prevailing regulations a jump-off was required. Csák cleared 1.62 to win, and Odam then cleared 1.60 to edge Kaum for the silver medal. Originally part of a six-way tie for eighth place on 1.58, Dora Ratjen (GER) was disqualified after it was discovered she was male.
